Venus Razor #ChooseYourSmooth @GilletteVenus @Walmart

July 29, 2016 by Samantha 7 Comments

Disclosure- I received the below in order to facilitate this post. All opinions are my own and honest. For more info, see “I Disclose”.

There are many options available for razors out there. Some of the most popular and effective are made by Venus and are available at a Walmart near you. Once you get there, you may be overcome by the number of options in Venus razors, but there is a short video to help you figure out what kind is for you. Everyone is different, and the video shows you the options available to find “your smooth”. Are you a perfectionist that wants flawless smooth legs? Then the Venus Swirl is for you, with its 5 contour blades and Flexiball technology that follows your every curve.

For the multitasker, there is the Venus and Olay razor which not only has 5 blades for a close shave, but also has Olay moisture bars which leave your skin feeling smooth and supple, with less dryness. For the on the go girl, there are the Venus disposables, which are perfect for your gym bag, suitcase, or desk drawer at work. With a pivoting round head and 3 blades with a protective cushion, this razor this razor has all the advantages of a Venus razor with the added flexibility of a disposable.

Check out this video to see the variety.

Personally, I am always looking for a new easier way to get things done in an efficient way, so I picked the Venus & Olay razor. I love smooth soft, skin, and often have dry spots. The Olay gel bar lathers and locks in moisture while giving you the smoothest closest shave with 5 blades- you really don’t need shaving cream. This razor combines the Venus shaving technology with Olay’s skin expertise in one easy to use razor. There is no need (honestly) to use shaving cream with this razor and your skin will still come out soft and smooth, especially with the moisturizer that is on the other bar.

No matter which type of razor best suits your particular needs, Walmart is your one stop shop for all Venus razor needs, from blades to refills.

The deodorant comes in 12 scents and 3 formulas including vegan and sensitive skin. This product is all natural and is a family-run business in Canada. Here’s the event link: http://smpl.ly/TE-RC

Dr. Dan’s CortiBalm is a natural chemical free lip balm you’ll love. Dr. Dan’s mixes natural yellow bee’s wax, mineral oil, petroleum jelly and hydrocortisone into one of the best lip balms around. After careful research and experimentation, he came up with this product, which is often imitated but never duplicated. Dr. Dan’s found that most lip balms contain chemicals which actually make chapped lips worse, thus keeping the consumer buying more. Dr. Dan’s actually fixes the problem. Check it out here: http://smpl.ly/TE-DD

Mouth Watchers is an innovative new toothbrush which uses silver for its antimicrobial properties to keep your toothbrush free of the millions of microorganisms which usually end up on the toothbrushes in the average bathroom. The bristles of the toothbrush are dual flossing- this means it gets into the hard to reach areas where cavities form and clean then out, helping to keep them clear of cavities and gingivitis forming debris, making your teeth cleaner and with less microorganisms. Here’s the direct link: http://smpl.ly/TE-MW

Green Goo is a salve for many different purposes including eczema, dry skin, first aid, diaper rashes, skin rashes, and even more. Each product uses wild crafted or organically grown herbs infused with organic oils which increases their medicinal potency. These products don’t only soothe and moisturize, but also make a difference and improve your well being. Check it out here: http://smpl.ly/TE-GG

There is also the adorable Baby K’Tan bag. A total of 12 storage compartments make it perfect for cloth diapering, potty training, or any mom/baby essential. One outside zippered pocket and two inner pockets are lined with a unique anti-microbial medical grade FDA approved nylon. The pockets are water-resistant, odor-resistant, germ resistant and food safe!

RevoMax calls itself a flask, but it’s not for adult beverages only. Not only that, but it keeps your beverages at the temperate you want them to stay at for quite a long time. The RevoMax Vacuum Insulated Flask features an innovative twist-free cap design that open and close smoothly and instantly with a single click. RevoMax requires only one hand to open and one second of your time to open or lock it. As the thermal loss is negligible, your beverages stay ready to drink way longer – hot stays hot up to 18 hours and cold stays cold up to 36 hours – than conventional screw cap flasks in the market.

Prevent Lice Before It Can Start

September 15, 2015 by Samantha 4 Comments

With school starting, and the “super lice” that have been going around, the best treatment seems to be preventing lice from ever taking hold in your child’s hair. Enter So Cozy – a line of hair products for kids which are salon quality but meant for little heads, or in our case a little big head. So Cozy is broken down into three general categories; Cinch, which are products that just work and work easily, Behave, which are the stylizers of the crew, and Boo which is formulated to repel lice.

P1030512

Lice happens. It can happen to anyone. Don’t let it happen to you. Use this fresh scented, lice prevention shampoo and the little buggers want nothing to do with you. Boo! Lice Prevention Shampoo is infused with tea tree oil, a natural and powerful lice repellent, to leave hair soft and silky. Safe and gentle enough for everyday use. A fright for lice, a big relief for you. You can also pick up lice prevention spray if that’s more to your liking.

P1030510

What’s in these lice preventatives?

Tea Tree Oil – One of the most effective natural ingredients demonstrated to prevent lice naturally.
Rosemary Extract – A natural plant extract that helps with preventing lice; rich in vitamins to promote healthy hair and natural shine
Keratin – Protects hair, helps to increase hair strength and minimize damages caused by brushing and overuse of accessories like barrettes and elastic bands.
Peppermint Oil – Moisturizing and works as an astringent to prevent buildup plus aids in hair growth.
Lavender Flower Extract – Calms and soothes skin.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract – Moisturizes and soothe hair, scalp and body.

So Safe: Non-Toxic, No Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates, Synthetic Color, Propylene Glycol. Free of Gluten, Wheat and Nuts. No Nasties Here!

Why bother with bugs? No one wants to deal with the mess and real PITA that they create, not to mention some kids are really embarrassed should they get them. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, some wise mouth once said, and we agree. Pick up some lice prevention today and keep those buggies at bay.

7th Heaven Face Masks for Beautiful Skin

September 1, 2015 by Samantha 3 Comments

There is a new UK-based beauty company, 7^th Heaven (www.my7thheaven.com), that have some masks that you will want to try out. They specialize in the face mask category and have one for just about every skin care issue or wish imaginable from hydrating to brightening. Also, the masks come in easy-to-transport single serve sachets, so it’s easy to try several and find your favorite (not to mention it’s easy to take these instant beauty boosters on vacation.)

Blemishes be gone. The newest all-natural, high performing facial treatment from 7th Heaven — Tea Tree Oil Peel Off Mask — has arrived, bringing with it clearer, cleaner, calmer skin. Just apply it all over the face, indulge in your favorite 20 – 25 minute relaxing activity and then peel it off for a fresh look! It really does peel off- it has the texture of when you get glue on your fingers, and it came off almost in one piece for me. They show it green on the package, but as you can see, it goes on clear. Dries that way as well, but it’s not sticky once dry.

– A de-stressing mask that delves deep into pores and takes impurities with it when you

peel it off

-Targets the T-zone and other problem areas; ideal

for all skin types

–Tea tree oil is known for its anti-blemish properties; in this deep penetrating mask these benefits are

maximized

–Other key ingredients include crushed witch hazel

and pressed Canadian willow herb

–Calms and soothes skin

-Comes in single-serve pouches; perfect for travel

Just cleanse skin, apply mask, relax for 20 to 25 minutes, peel off the mask, and enjoy fresh, fabulous skin.

You can also try the Argan Oil Mud Mask.

Argan oil has long been considered one of beauty’s miracle ingredients. Now this gift of nature from Morocco stars in a new Argan Oil Mud Mask, a luxurious face treat from 7th Heaven. Coupled with antioxidant-rich acai berries, this wonder mask is the perfect solution to bring the most fatigued face back to life.

–A weekly mask formulated for combination and oily

skin

-Deeply cleanses pores, balances oil levels and revives tired skin

-Features vitamin-rich, hydrating and balancing pressed argan kernels, antioxidant rich acai berries,

and squeezed rosehip

–After use, skin is pristinely clean yet hydrated and supple, never stripped of natural oils or tight

-Comes in single-serve pouches; perfect for travel

Both are $1.99 for a generous single 0.5 oz use , available for purchase at Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Harmon Discount and Kmart . They are cruelty-free, and members of BUAV/Leaping Bunny and PETA.
